The Ailsa Club - Making Trump Turnberry More Than Just A World Class Golf Experience
Keen golfers and casual golf fans will certainly be familiar with the Ailsa course at Trump Turnberry, host of four Open Championships that included the famous Duel in the Sun between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus in 1977. When the game’s oldest major was held there for the fourth time in 2009, it looked set to be the site of one of the most memorable achievements in all of sport when Tom Watson was on the brink of winning the Claret Jug at the age of 59, only to be undone by a firm bounce approaching the 18th green and an ensuing bogey. The rest is consigned to history.
